* TheResenter: Despite his love for Sakuya, there are times when Yuuya shows condescension or a trace of resentment. In [[http://kyaaa.dreamwidth.org/11581.html one of the drama CDs]] Shuu almost kills someone, to the dismay of the other characters. Sakuya tries to defend him and Yuuya, striving to save the life in danger, snaps, "Why don't you try showing some concern for others once in a while, Sakuya?"

Grumpy Bear is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.
